PRINCIPLES BETTER THAN PLEDGES
FRIENDS or THE C. c.; I'D Wallace voices my
views 10 the folly Of pledges gning unless baced
by sound principles, Let all make stand against
1ntempennce, but lei us begin in the right way.
When mans nature becomes 20 debased by drink
that he fOrges the duty he owes to himself 10 his
family and % his God, IL he likely 70 attach much
importance 30 an oath, or wiz he, when temptation
nssas hum and the craving for drink y more than
he endure forget the sacred nature Of the pledge
he has taken and add the terrible crime of perjury

An my friends this appetite for liquor is a curse
40 tE unfortunate victim. aud when IL obtains
the mastery over him nothing but the grace of God
can save him from drnnkard's grave.
But. though we may be unable to rescue those
who are treading the downward path, at
least nstill into the minds Of the children princi
piles of temperance which viii keep them safe from
cine clutches Of the demon drunkenness. And
what responsibility rests upon us, parents and
teachers % inculcate pure principles in the hearts
Oi the little ones under our care!

never, by "a thOughtlcss word, encourage my boys
in the use OF any Intoxicating beverage.
